Polite and lovely- although went in there with long hair asking for a decent cut more than a trim but NOT to shoulders- and I specifically said that! And Ive come out with short hair basically shoulder length! Not happy at all.

Clare gave me a cut and finish. It was my first visit to the hair salon I usually just visit for eyebrows, nails and fake tan. Clare gave me advice on my cut and future colour ideas. I will definitely be going back. Really pleased with my visit.
